10/24/2007

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - In what it is calling the next generation of traceability for its organization, The Giumarra Cos. here said it has successfully tested a new traceback system developed to further enhance its food safety capabilities.

The tests took place in early September in central California with Giumarra's "Nature's Partner" brand table grapes, and confirmed the system's ability to trace individual grape bags from the vineyard all the way to the consumer.

The traceability program is cost-effective and practical for growers, the company said, while giving retailers the ability to trace individual grape bags back to their source. It has also been proven to give fast and accurate results, Giumarra said.

The Giumarra Cos. is an international network of fresh produce growers, distributors, and marketers.
